14th. April 1993

This is how I got my Mitsumi LU005S CDRom running under a VDM. I can use the mouse
ok, copy files from the CD Drive etc without any hassle. I set up the same for
a friend of mine who operates the December OS/2 Beta. All works fine except for
the mouse which does not show up in the VDM. I got the info from Bill Zacks book
The OS/2 2.0 Handbook, Van Nostrand Publishing.

I hope that you will find the info's here of help.

1) Make a boot diskette

2) Copy the following files from MS-Dos diskette to your boot diskette


AUTOEXEC BAT       140   3.04.93 19.20
COMMAND  COM     50031  11.06.91 12.00
DOSKEY   COM      6012  11.06.91 12.00
KEYB     COM     15107  11.06.91 12.00
MSCDEX   EXE     25431   4.02.92  2.21   /* From Mitsumi CDRom driver diskette
SETVER   EXE     12131  11.06.91 12.00
CONFIG   SYS       187   3.04.93 19.22
COUNTRY  SYS     17078  11.06.91 12.00
FSFILTER SYS     12364  30.03.92 12.00   /* From \os2 directoy
KEYBOARD SYS     34706  11.06.91 12.00
MTMCDS   SYS     11761  27.10.92  2.10   /* From Mitsumi CDRom driver diskette

I used the MTMCDS.SYS because I could not get the MTMCDE.SYS to function
correctely.


3) Edit the autoexec.bat as follows:

@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
PATH C:\DOS;C:\DOS\UTILS.DOS;            /* Or whatever
SET TEMP=A:\
KEYB GR,,\KEYBOARD.SYS                   /* German keyboard
\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10 /L:f      
C:\OS2\NumOn                             /* Utility for switching on num block
                                            avail. on OS2USER

4) Edit the config.sys as follows:

DEVICE=\FSFILTER.SYS                     /* Should be first statement
DEVICE=\SETVER.EXE
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\HIMEM.SYS
COUNTRY=049,850,\COUNTRY.SYS             /* German settings
DEVICE=\MTMCDS.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:10 /T:5 /I:10
LASTDRIVE=Z
FILES=30

5) Switch to an os/2 session and enter the following command to create an image:

    VMDISK A: C:\CDROM.DSK

   You can put the image anyplace you like and call it what you fancy.

6) Drag the Program Template to your Desktop or Folder and enter the program
   settings as follows:

    1st. page : 'Path and File name:' --> *
    2nd. page : Settings either DOS full screen or window and click on the dos
                settings buttons:

                    'DOS_AUTOEXEC' --> A:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
                    'DOS_STARTUP_DRIVE' --> C:\CDRom.Dsk  /* or wherever 
                    'MOUSE_EXCLUSIVE_ACCESS' --> On

7) Close settings and click on the newly creating object.

8) To close the session call up the Window List select Object and close ( exit
   will not work ).
